I have almost finished working on a small application using VB.NET 2008 Express Edition as front end and SQL Server Express as back end. Now my next step is to generate reports for the application. Is there ANY way I could create reports in VB.NET Express Edition?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a simple countdown timer using vb 2005 express edition. I think the code is fairly simple but I have fallen at the first hurdle. How do you display the result, i.e. which control do you use? Tried label and textbox but both return the error: "Value of type [integer or long] cannot be converted to [textbox or label].

View 2 RepliesI want to create a table (called "Customers") in a Microsoft Access database and then insert/delete records into the table and update the table. The table shall have 3 columns:
ID
Customer Name
Customer Address
I know i need to make the "ID" column as an autonumber and a primary key, as i need to insert and delete records and update the table. I am using the Visual basic 2008 Express edition and quite familar with the OledBcommand.
i am creating a quiz which would be 20 questions for software design students and may use alot of code.my first problem is the score for the test, i know a friend of mine can add up the score but he cant move onto the next thread until you have got the question correct which is sort of cheating, i want to know how you create a variable and make that variable stay in all the forms and add up the score of correct and incorrect answers and come up with a final score for the user in the end.
View 8 RepliesI'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I have Visual Studio 2010 installed on a 64-bit OS with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (obviously 64-bit edition as well). When I installed the runtime, their installation notes stated that if you develop 32-bit applications, you need install the 32-bit runtime, which I did. Testing the application and all is well.
However, this application is going to be distributed as x86 and x64. Now I have not yet converted my project to 64-bit, but should I now install the 64-bit runtime? How is this going to affect my 32-bit installation and report designs?
Secondly, when I distribute my application to the end-user, will they also be required to install the Crystal Reports runtime? Also according to their installation type (32-bit/64-bit)?
Lastly, I want to convert my project from x86 to x64. I understand you set this option by Build > Configuration Manager > (project) x64. Is it ok if I duplicate the entire project folder contents and setting only the duplicate project as x64?

My company currently has vb.net 2003. I am tasked with evaluating vb.net 2008. And suggest if upgrading to 2008 edition is necessary or if it will be beneficial. For this purpose I decided to experiment with vb.net 2008 express. I have some questions regarding this.
1) Will vb.net 2008 express edition will give me idea about new features etc. ?
2) If I install vb.net 2008 express edition on machine which has vb.net 2003, will it cause any problems to vb.net 2003 ?
3) If I code in vb.net 2008 express edition, on upgrading will this same code work ?

View 4 RepliesI know the express edition of Vb does not give a detailed publish but i want to ask something. I have made program that uses database (Sql), and also my program uses folders (Help, Pictures etc..) I tried to publish my program but the express edition does not have an option to add my folders. So i tried to publish with "inno setup" program. But this time my program does not work in computers which dont have "Sql Server 2008 express". I tried to put "Read me " file, that says "First setup Sql Server 2008 Express from internet then setup .Net Framework from internet then setup the program" but it is so hard for user to do those thing. Is there any way easier? (Does the computer must have Sql Server to work with my database?)

View 1 RepliesI'm doing a project for school (I'm in Year 6, Primary School, Australia) and I'm trying to create a measurements converter with Visual Basic. Unfortunately I have a problem (and no teachers in the school have a clue on how to use visual basic).Basically the program just converts a specified amount of one unit of measurement and converts it to another unit of measurement.A message box then pops up telling the user the answer. Eg. A user specifies that they want 1 mile converted to 1 kilometre a message box will pop up telling them what the answer would be. In this case it would be about 1.6 kilometres.
